Most Overrated NHL Players

A 'pileon' is more use on the ice than Phaneuf right now. Too bad, when he was a Flame he played with passion and fought guys. Now the only thing on his mind is his huge salary.

So sorry, I posted that when he was good, but now I think he should just retire - SayJ123

Phaneuf is the leafs' best defenceman though, although he got traded - SayJ123

He can hit, but that is about it. -

Injury prone. Never lived up to the hype. -

Never the same after the Steve Moore incident. -

So true because now he sucks - Callahan87

Ovechkin leads the caps. Without ovi he would be nothing. People also think of his "15 goals in 15 seconds commercial." Any nhl player can do that. He's nothing

If you are betting your franchise on Ovechkin you are doomed. You have to have a team! That includes at least 2 SOLID lines, 2 good penalty kill lines, an all around line that will do whatever the coach asks, and most of all A HEART! GKG! To quote an NHL rule: Rule 13 Composition of Team
A Team shall be composed of 20 players (18 skaters and two goalkeepers as per Rule 15 (a)(c)(d) - Players in Uniform) who shall be under contract to the Club they represent.

So many assits but no goals. And most of those assits r from the great 8.

Slow and can't score anymore. -

Thorton hade 92 assists that's why cheechoo did good you can't not be great on a line with one of the best passers in the league

Yeah, a lot of people say Cheechoo was good thanks to Thorton. Couldn't agree more.

People STILL expect good seasons out of him. But this just shows how AWESOME Thornton is. - booklover1

One good season thanks to Joe Thornton. All over for him now though. -

Lately been big for penguins, without crosby and malkin

He is the best. People need 2 quit hating and start appreciating. GO PENS!

Should not be here

Compared to his brothers he has got nothing. -

Passed his prime. Time to hang em up. -

He is amazing. And yes he is on top 5 d men of all time.

Everyone thinks he's an all star. Get Real. - booklover1

He's got speed, but that is about it. -

He doesn’t play to a 4 mil standard much less a 10.5 standard.

If you know anything about Hockey Hossa is so underrated. He carried the Hawks Made Toews who he is today. Hardest worker on the team. Sad to see him hang them up.If you notice hawks are not playing as well. True leaders make other players around them better. Not built up by scouts and media TSN.

Yo this guy is amazing my favorite in the nhl and yes I am a hawk fan. Well the whole theam is my favorites.

HOSSA?!? HE IS UNDERERATED IF ANYTHING - Sssamuel2

Marty Brodeur on this list? Brodeur played in an era with lots of scoring and an era with minor scoring. 1995, he was still playing the whole stand up diving routine. Then, later in his career, he used the butterfly technique as well. Watch old clips of Marty Brodeur. He makes diving blocker saves, and in later games, makes even better saves.

Heater sucks
